Moldova River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moldova River is a river of the Moldavia region of Romania, which rises from the Obcine of Bukovina in Suceava County.
It joins the Siret River near the city of Roman in the Neamţ County.
The river gave its name to the principality of Moldavia, its first capital, Târgul Moldovei, now Baia, being on the Moldova River. The origin of the name of the river is disputed, see: Etymology of Moldova.
